Reborn to Strive

May Day, but Shi Zhen's construction site did not stop working.

The loss of work stoppage on the construction site is quite large. Usually it is raining or something, and work will be stopped when they cannot continue to work. Otherwise...the workers have no other holidays except for the New Year.

They also don't want to stop working. On the construction site, more work is more rewarding, and stopping work means that they will earn less money.

However, the workers under him did not have a holiday, but Shi Zhen himself...he gave himself a holiday.

Guan Baiyu's Internet cafe is about to open, and he plans to join him.

Shi Zhen left at five o'clock in the morning so that he could arrive before the opening at eight o'clock.

After seven o'clock, Shi Zhen entered the provincial capital.

The temperature is just right for Labor Day, neither too cold nor too hot.

Probably because the absence of smartphones prevents people from going to bed early and getting up early, there are already many people on the road, and the breakfast shops on the street are very lively.

Some shops put tables and chairs outside, but they are still full of people.

Unlike ten or 20 years later, when many stores are getting bigger and bigger, most of the stores now are quite small, and they are all a storefront, doing a small business.

Even if Shi Zhen entered the newly built commercial area, the shops here are still small, unlike later generations, a mobile phone store, which obviously sells only a few products, occupies a particularly large space.

That's why... Guan Baiyu's Internet cafe on the upper and lower floors looks very, very large.

After growing up, it is particularly conspicuous in a lot of smaller shops.

Shi Zhen felt that anyone who came to shop in this commercial street would immediately notice this Internet cafe called "Baishi".

Seeing the name, Shi Zhen chuckled lightly.

When Guan Baiyu was thinking about the name of the Internet cafe, he also gave some suggestions, thinking that Guan Baiyu could give his Internet cafe a better name.

As a result, Guan Baiyu directly used this name, and even said to advertise his company.

Then... advertise him.

Shi Zhen stopped the car not far away.

The Internet cafe hadn't opened yet, but what surprised Shi Zhen was that there was someone waiting at the door.

He walked over and saw those people discussing this Internet cafe: "I heard that this Internet cafe opens today, and if you go to play in the first ten days, you will get a [-]% discount on everything, only four yuan an hour!"

"I've heard about it too, and I'm here to take a look."

"What about our first Internet cafe here? Last time I went all the way to another Internet cafe, it turned out to be very small and there were not many computers. I waited for a long time before I got a wheel."

"I heard that there are many computers here."

"A new Internet cafe, the computer must be new!"

……

Before the opening of the Internet cafe, Guan Baiyu did a lot of publicity.

So many people came here especially for the name, and even waited here early in order to grab the computer.

People follow the crowd. After some people wait outside, some people stop here. Shi Zhen also heard some old men and women asking those young people waiting to come to the Internet cafe what they are doing here.

I heard that it was waiting for the Internet cafe to open, some of them didn't know, so some of them knew: "Oh! It's a place for computers!"

Then these old people will popularize what a computer is to their peers who don't know about computers.

In the provincial capital in [-], most primary and secondary schools were equipped with computers.

Although a school may only have one computer room, at least there are computer classes, and everyone is not so unfamiliar with computers.

However, because there is nothing on the school computer, they usually play with the "Drawing" that comes with the computer in computer class, and use "Drawing" to draw a picture for homework at the end of the semester, so the children are not very interested in computers. big.

Because of this, computers are not something that parents are displeased with at the moment, and even many parents hope that their children will learn computers well.

Although they don't know what to learn.

Shi Zhen looked at the door for a while, and saw that there were more and more people, so he made a detour and went in from the back, and entered the Internet cafe.

He came to look for Guan Baiyu some time ago, he had been to the Internet cafe, and he also had the key to the Internet cafe.

In the Internet cafe, everyone is busy, all the workers are present, and the Internet cafe has been cleaned up.

Seeing Shi Zhen, Guan Baiyu immediately narrowed his eyes and laughed.

However, there were outsiders, and the two of them didn't say anything, just watching the time pass by.

At eight o'clock, the Internet cafe opened.

Guan Baiyu didn't hold a particularly fancy opening ceremony, mainly because he had no money, and now it seems... there is no need.

Almost immediately, countless people poured in and went to the network administrator to register for the Internet.

At this time, the state has not yet promulgated regulations that minors cannot surf the Internet in Internet cafes.

It will take several years for this regulation to come out, mainly because there is really nothing to see online at this time.

There are not even such things as portal websites and search engines.

Most of the games are stand-alone games, and large-scale online games do not exist at all.

However, Guan Baiyu still instructed the network administrator that the younger ones should not come online.

The main reason is that the price here is very expensive, and children can't afford so much money. If they come to the Internet, they may have stolen the family's money. If the parents come to the door, it will be more troublesome.

Of course, he thought too much, and no children came in at all.

Children can't afford this money, and they don't have much interest in computers.

Even adults who come to the Internet, many of them have never played this thing, paid five yuan to try it, and finally turned on the computer...nothing.

But everyone is still looking at this new gadget with great interest, and some people don't spend money by themselves, just watch others play.

The Internet cafes at this time were completely different from some black Internet cafes later on. They were simply high-end places, and only rich people would come in to play. After entering the Internet cafes, everyone’s voices became quieter.

Of course, some people can't play computer games, but some people can, and some people click on the game and figure out how to play it.

Stand-alone games are mostly simple.

Then one by one, they were amazed again and again.

The people next to them saw it and followed suit.

Many people are getting in touch with computers for the first time. Guan Baiyu also specially printed out a URL for those who come to the Internet to read, so there are also people who are not very interested in playing games. Open some websites according to the above URL, and then look at the above Content.

In short, there is everything to do.

What surprised Guan Baiyu the most was that the boxes upstairs were booked out very quickly.

Probably... These people who come to the Internet are all rich people. For rich people, there is not much difference between five yuan an hour and ten yuan an hour, right?

Shi Zhen felt quite normal.

In later generations, there are some so-called online celebrity shops, which actually sell expensive and mediocre tastes, but there are still many people who go to check in... Guan Baiyu’s Internet cafe is almost the same as an online celebrity shop at this time.

It probably belongs to... Going out and telling people, "I've been to Baishi Internet Cafe", is something to show off.

Of course, not everyone came here to play. Guan Baiyu saw that when someone came, he opened the mailbox and started sending emails.

There are also some college students who don't have enough computer time in school, so they pay to come here to study.

In short, there is everything.

And...the more than 100 computers were quickly crowded with people, and those who came late had to wait until the computers were free before they could play. "It's too lively!" After Liang Qinxuan came with his friend, his friend immediately went upstairs to play, while he was downstairs, watching the guests with Guan Baiyu.

There are so many guests!

Liang Qinxuan couldn't help asking: "With so many people, how much money can they earn in a day?"

Guan Baiyu said: "The discount for the first ten days of opening is only 64 yuan per hour. If each computer is played for [-] hours a day, it is [-] yuan. Let's count it as [-] yuan. One hundred computers, one day That's six thousand... I have more than one hundred computers here! The ones upstairs cost eight yuan an hour!"

A daily turnover of [-] is no problem.

Liang Qinxuan gasped.

This is too much money!

In this case, his dividend in the first month will definitely exceed [-], and the cost will be recovered in less than a year...

Guan Baiyu said: "Of course, I will use the money I earned at the beginning to buy a computer... There are still many positions here that are vacant."

Liang Qinxuan nodded repeatedly.

He can accept the dividend later!

It would be nice to suffer a little bit now and pay more money in the future!

Probably because the current Internet cafes look very high-end, and the quality of people who come to the Internet is very good, and there is nothing messy about it.

Everyone loves computers very much.

Guan Baiyu was particularly satisfied with this situation.

People who come to the Internet also feel that... this place is particularly tall.

"This is how computers work!"

"This game is so fun!"

"I also have a computer at home, but there is nothing in it!"

……

On the second day, Guan Baiyu went to the Internet cafe, and after doing the math... unexpectedly found that the turnover of the Internet cafe was more than 1.

Of course, this also includes the food consumption of people who come to the Internet.

Those people can afford four yuan an hour to surf the Internet, and of course they don't mind spending money on some drinks, even if the drinks in the Internet cafe are [-] cents more expensive than outside, they don't care.

The people in the upstairs box were even more generous. The friends that Liang Qinxuan brought, spent a lot of money here one by one, and they even brought some friends to introduce them to interesting computer games...

However, although the turnover of the Internet cafe is not low, there are no people in the Internet cafe from ten o'clock in the evening, and there are very few people in the Internet cafe until eight o'clock in the morning.

At this time, people will not surf the Internet all night.

Guan Baiyu thought about it, and decided to adjust the working hours of the workers. Instead of three shifts, they might as well divide them into two shifts. The Internet cafe closes at eleven o'clock in the evening and reopens at eight o'clock in the morning.

With this arrangement, there will be more workers in each shift, and it will also avoid too many people in the Internet cafe during the day, too many things to do, and the employees will be too busy.

During the May Day holiday, Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen spent most of their time in the Internet cafe. They also found a private room for two upstairs to play computer games together.

Although Shi Zhen doesn't like playing with computers, he knows how to type. After all, he has used them in his previous life.

After staying for three days, Shi Zhen went back.

And at this time... the reputation of the Internet cafe has grown.

Even the local media reported on this Internet cafe.

Shi Zhen was very worried about the negative comments about Internet cafes, but the times are different... When the media reported, it was said that Internet cafes can open up everyone's horizons, and they highly praised it in words.

After all, in recent years, the country is vigorously promoting computers.

Although Guan Baiyu has done some publicity for the Internet cafe, many people know about the existence of this Internet cafe through word of mouth, but it is still not as powerful as the media.

When this report came out, many people really came to check in at the Internet cafe to see what the Internet cafe looks like.

The business of the Internet cafe is getting better, and more and more people come in to take a look without paying. Guan Baiyu even had to let the workers patrol back and forth, reminding everyone not to smoke, and to keep an eye on personal valuables.

Otherwise, the place is crowded with people, and it is very likely that if you are not careful, your wallet or something will be stolen.

Shi Zhen didn't intervene too much in Guan Baiyu's affairs, after all, he himself has a lot of things to do.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Qiujuan would tell him one thing after returning from the provincial capital... something that shocked him a little.

Zhao Qiujuan has a date with Duan Hongming, and they plan to get married.

Zhao Qiujuan took the accounting certificate exam in April, and just got the entry certificate. Shi Zhen planned to come up during the May Day holiday, so he asked her to work as an accountant, and then he could start introducing her to a partner.

As a result, as soon as he mentioned it, Zhao Qiujuan said that she already had a date, and it was Duan Hongming.

When did they talk, why didn't he know anything about it?

Shi Zhen was taken aback at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that these two people were quite suitable.

Duan Hongming is very reliable, but his marriage in his previous life did not go smoothly.

In his previous life, he didn't go out to find Duan Hongming. Before Duan Hongming resigned and started his own business, he got married.

Then the relationship between the two of them seemed to be not good all the time. Duan Hongming's wife stayed in her hometown all the time and didn't come here.

But what the specific situation is, he doesn't know.

But there is a high probability... Duan Hongming will never marry his wife from his hometown again.

"What are your plans?" Shi Zhen asked Zhao Qiujuan.

Zhao Qiujuan said: "He told his parents that his parents will come over in a few days, and then the two families will meet."

"I will prepare well." Shi Zhen said.

He must be present at this kind of meeting with parents.

"Well," Zhao Qiujuan was very happy, but soon thought of something, "By the way, there is one more thing..."

"What's the matter?" Shi Zhen asked.

"Duan Hongming doesn't seem to know that you are my younger brother." Zhao Qiujuan said.

After she got acquainted with Duan Hongming, sometimes she would ask Duan Hongming about something she didn't know.

It's not good for her to keep asking people questions. Later, when she cooked some dishes, she would pack some for Duan Hongming and ask Duan Hongming to take them home to eat.

After going back and forth, Duan Hongming suddenly asked her if she wanted to talk to someone.

She was stupid at the time.

She also wanted to find a better partner, but she never thought about Duan Hongming. After all, Duan Hongming is a college student and has a good job. He is better than her in every way.

But she must be satisfied with Duan Hongming, so Zhao Qiujuan naturally agreed.

Then they got along in private for a month. Recently, she passed the accounting certificate, and Duan Hongming said that she could see her parents get married.

It was nothing at all, but when Duan Hongming talked about meeting her parents, she thought her parents were still in the mountains, and said that she wanted to take her parents to buy some better clothes... After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Duan Hongming didn't know her parents. In fact, she is Shi Zhen's older sister.

At that time, she didn't know how to tell Duan Hongming...

That's all?Shi Zhen said: "I'll go and tell him."

Shi Zhen didn't take this matter seriously, but Duan Hongming's parents were coming, so he definitely wanted to discuss with Duan Hongming where to eat.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhen went to Duan Hongming: "Are you in love with my sister?"

"You mean Qiujuan? That's right!" Duan Hongming admitted.

Shi Zhendao: "If your parents want to come, I will make some preparations here... What do your parents like to eat? Tell me about it, and I can arrange meals."

"Wait... Boss, are you going to make arrangements?" Duan Hongming felt something was wrong.

"My parents don't know much about these things, so I can do it," Shi Zhen said.

Duan Hongming thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized something - he thought he found a poor girl...in fact, it was the boss's sister?
